South eastern leaders on Friday pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to grant freedom to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The leaders made the plea in an address during a meeting with Buhari at the Executive Council Chambers, New Government House Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state.
The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the South East, Reverend Father Abraham Nwali, made the plea on behalf of the South East leaders in his address at the Ebonyi State Stakeholders’ Forum held at the Government House in Abakaliki, the state capital.
“We plead for a political solution that as a father; a kind father, a forgiving father, to grant Nnamdi Kanu freedom,” he said. “We say that he should be granted pardon.
“And we call on all agitators to cease all forms of hostilities and rather demand for a nation where the plights of the poor, the weak, the oppressed will be addressed.”
